Cleaning hospital bed. Hospital cleaner using a cloth to clean and disinfect a rail on a hospital bed that has been used. The bed and the rest of the room must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent any possible spread of infection to the next patient. Disinfectant destroys most bacteria and slows the growth of others. The cleaner is wearing gloves to maintain high standards of hygiene. Photographed at the American Hospital of Paris, France.
